It certainly should go to seed. It will get really tall and send up a gigantic seed head; it is really quite pretty! And it is self pollinating so no worries; just let it dry completely and harvest the head whole, you can then pinch out or shake out the seeds into a paper bag for next year.

Works muscles I forgot I had. Great looking garden, and those baby goats are darling!

Nothing like laying waste to a bunch of weeds to work out the little annoyances of life.

I feel your pain, but on the upside(?), it’ll be December again before you know it.

It must be in the air. While I have a much less involved farm than you, I have a post in a similar vein percolating. Nice goatlings. . . Hang in there.

You’re really saying that it’s a hell of a lot of work sometimes (most times?), but I reckon you knew that…. My statistics on goat birth eventfulness vary somewhat from yours (pffff, I know zippy-doo about goat birthing). I’ll be much less flip and cavalier about these things when we’ve been here a while (and will come crawling for forgiveness). Lovely photos, and I hope you’re feeling more appreciated. Y’r pal~ Brett

It’s hard to try to balance the work I want to be doing (farming) with work I need to be doing (my job).

This year I’m just going to observe and see what I have each week (extra). I can totally see how balancing it all would be hard, and I don’t even have half the space and critters you do :)

okay, back to digging!
